Princess Eugenie lands £25k role at trendy online auction house in New York

IT SEEMS that Princess Eugenie certainly has no plans to move back to the UK any time soon.

The 23-year-old royal has just got a job at online auction house Paddle8 as a benefit auctions manager where she will be earning £25,000-a-year.

However, according to reports, Eugenie is not turning her back on Britain completely and will travel back and forth between the Big Apple and London.

The redhead moved to Manhattan last year and initially joined the company last September on a three-month placement, but clearly she has impressed them which has led to her being offered a more permenant role.

Eugenie has been a big success and they wanted her to stay so she’ll now be there until at least September.

"The plan was to spend three months in New York and see how it went," a friend of Eugenie's told the Mail On Sunday.

"But Eugenie has been a big success and they wanted her to stay so she’ll now be there until at least September."

A spokesman for Paddle8 confirmed the news, by saying: "I can confirm that Eugenie will continue to work in New York."

Paddle8, which is backed by Damien Hirst, specialises in dealing with works by artists such as Jeff Koons and Banksy.

During her three-month placement at the tim, Eugenie was involved in an auction of some of Koons’s work, and this year she will work on global online auctions alongside her friend Alexander Gilkes, and will also be involved in projects for the firm’s charity offshoot Gavel & Grand.

The only downside to Eugenie's new job is the fact that she will be spending more time away from her boyfriend Jack Brooksbank.

"Eugenie is loving New York. The hardest thing has been leaving Jack behind, but he told her she had to take the job," a source said.

The royal has been dating the bar manager for three years now and will no doubt be jetting back to London regularly to spend some quality time with him.
